Greece Police Searching Fire House

Greece police are executing a search warrant at the Ridge Road Fire District this morning. Police say it's related to the 1978 Holiday Inn Fire. That fire killed 10 people, mostly Canadian tourists, and injured 34. It was ruled an arson.

Police say reports there have been an arrest are not true. Fire Chief Bud Phillips has been labeled a person of interest in the case. he was a firefighter in 1978 and was the first one to spot the fire. He has denied any involvement.

Greece Police reopened this investigation two years ago, creating an arson task force with the ATF, Monroe County Sheriff and the FBI.

News 8 will talk to Greece police for more updates later in the day.
